Today's modelled estimate of £632,000 is 30.4% below the 2021 sale of £907,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£407/sq ft) was about 126% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 207 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Most recent transfer: November 2021 at £907,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
